Virtual Environments: towards interactive gates of information in e-Government
by Sherif Mohammed Ali El-Wageeh
Electronic Government, an International Journal (EG), Vol. 9, No. 1, 2012

Abstract: This paper suggests a conceptual model for applying the Virtual Reality (VR) technology on the information sector of the e-Government. A conceptual model for applying VEs in e-Government websites is suggested. The model is empirically applied on the electronic services offered to citizens through the website of the Ministry of Municipalities and Urban Planning affairs in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is found that engaging VEs as interactive visual gates of information in such websites can help in developing the quality and interactivity of services offered to citizens. Moreover, it can strengthen the interoperability between governmental authorities and sub-directorates.
